Thank you, Martha-louise! How awful! Was the king hurt too? Take care! Alejandro

Hi! I know queen Astrid died in a car accident but does anyone know how it happened? Who was driving? Was another car involved? Did she fall off the car? Where did the accident take place? Was anyone else hurt? Sorry for so many questions and thank you in advance for the answers! Alejandro

My $2 (pesos) Jackie Kennedy was very admired here for her elegance and class, till the very end. Maybe that's why Máxima chose those clothes. A question: are those hats (Matilde's and Queen Paola's) sort of normal hats or are they special, for special meetings (weddings, etc.)? Prince Wilhelm...

Hi Hannelore! Wasn't King Albert himself injured on a motorbike accident in the south of France when he was in his early sixties? :confused: It's in the family! :) But instead of forbidding him to ride again, they should tell him to do it carefully. Motorbikes are just great! :) :) :) Take...

Hi Cathérine! That might have been an "unfortunate remark" but I think Laurent is no fool at all! He has a special sense of humour and some of his remarks to the press are very, very witty. Take care! :) Alejandro Hi Sean! Can you picture King Albert or Queen Paola as members of Opus Dei? ;)...

Thank you, Kerry! Now I'll do my "homework" and see if I can find out which members of those families joined the Nazi Party. :cool: What do you think of the book as a whole? Has it got reliable sources, bibliography, etc.? Take care! :) Alejandro

Are there any still alive? I mean, the ones who "would like to hide under the rug". :D Alejandro

Hi Kerry! "Recalling when royalty and the Nazis marched in step" Could you mention some other "Royals" who belonged to the Nazi Party according to the book, apart from these Hessian brothers? They are all quite unknown to me. :( Thanks in advance! Alejandro

Sorry, that's exactly what I meant. That's why I put the ":cool: " face. I wouldn't have gone on that trip myself if I'd been him. (But then, I'm not married. :p) Take care! :) Alejandro

Thank you, Elisabetteke! :) Sorry I couldn't answer before but I was "grounded". :mad: On the other hand, it may be a good idea for a king to say:"Sorry, I can't hear you." when he's been asked a question he doesn't want to answer. :rolleyes: Take care! Alejandro

It must be loads of fun for Henri to be vacationing while his wife is in hospital, musn't it? In his place, I'd be 'delighted' :cool: . Cheers! Alejandro

Probably you're right. I'm sure you see and read more of them than we do in our country. What do people in Australia think about them (as Mary's in-laws)? Take care! Alejandro PS. OK, ok, wrong thread. Sorry.

Not really if you are a king or queen. Who knows (or would tell) whether you sleep with your husband/wife or alone in your own bedroom, for example? Who would tell how many times you argue badly with your husband/wife, what they tell each other, etc.? In Belgium nobody was saying anything about...

Hi everybody! Is Laurent left-handed? If not (and I think he isn't) any idea why he wears his watch on his right wrist? Thank you! Alejandro

To Hannelore, Catherine and any other person from Belgium, please: Do you know if the documentary (the sound, I mean) will be broadcast on Internet? Here, in Argentina, through France we can watch and hear king Albert every now and then but it's true, we have never heard the Queen speak! And...

Well, my name is Alejandro José so I share my first name with several Czars of Russia and my second name with some Austrian Emperors. Wow! I'm beginning to feel important! ;) Take care and thank you for all the interesting threads in this forum! Alejandro

Hi! They are watching a tennis match, I think. Now, what the players might be doing, I just can't imagine! :D It's a very nice picture. I think Felipe does not have to worry about being accepted as new king when the time comes. :) Take care! Alejandro

Thank you! I didn't know that people could be baptised twice! And sorry, I didn't want to suggest anything wrong either. Alejandro PS. Ooops! I kept you busy! You answered all my posts!!! Thank you!!!

Good, thank you! I think it's a great idea. In other countries, former queens seem to 'disappear'. LOL Alejandro

Hi! My mother (and some of those magazines like Hola) say she wasn't very close with Paola. They were far too different (says my mother) There were jealousies because one had three children and the other didn't (say the magazines). In this forum they say she doesn't get on well with Laurent and...

Hi! Can anyone tell me why Queen Fabiola is still queen? How can a country have two queens, Paola and Fabiola? How do people make the difference (as in Great Britain: Queen and Queen Mother)? Thank you! Alejandro

Hi! I smell a rat here. :cool: Phillip was baptised at least 14 days after his birth and in a church in the centre of Brussels BUT Laurent was baptised 2 or 3 days after his birth and in the chapel of the castle Belvedère. Then Laurent's baptism, so soon after his birth and 'at home', was not...

Hi and thank you! :) Hmmmm, I'll never understand what women wear and when ... :rolleyes: I'm glad I'm a man. If I ever have to go to a special place (palace, royal visit, etc.), I'll know what to wear! ;) The Colón Theatre looked just great!!! And yes, with women wearing tiaras (those little...

Is it too obvious to say that King Albert of Belgium wears glasses since the 1980s? :) And his wife, Queen Paola too. And Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain too, when she reads. Take care! Alejandro

Hi everybody! Just a question: why does Máxima have to wear a hat on her visit here if women never wear hats in this country? Is it part of the Dutch protocol? Thank you in advance! Alejandro
